Try small children curled around your body on one
side and a spouse curled around the other. Then, a giant fluffy dog for your
feet. Put your head "under" the pillow so you don't have to breath the air after
everybody ate camp chilli. Nice and warm when we are camping, even in the tent.

"....Another seaon in tents on the ground, freezing..."
There is another possibility
Purchase a set of good ground pads. Thermarest brand are
available at good camping/backpacking stores in several quality levels.
Purchase some really good semi-mummy sleeping bags. I endorse
Wiggy's system (http://www.wiggys.com/). Many try to
get buy with a bag from WalMart and wonder why they are cold.
Wear a stocking cap, long johns, and wool socks to sleep
Eat a candy bar just before retireing.
Exercise until you feel warm before retireing.
It is remarkable how proper gear will increase comfort. By the way
sleeping in a truck bed, unless you put at least an inch of rigid foam in the
bed is even colder than the ground. The steel conducts the heat to the
air.
